Back in October 2015, Jonathan Kew proposed an interesting solution for another case where multiple fonts exist in the same font file – TTC files.
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015Oct/0158.html
His proposal was a new syntax using "#", the URL fragment identifier. In his example below it allows a fallback TTC font to be used for a regular and bold when the ideal fonts are not available:
~~~~
@font-face {
font-family: my-favorite-font;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(MyFavorite.woff), url(MyFallback.ttc#1);
}
@font-face {
font-family: my-favorite-font;
font-weight: 600;
src: url(MyFavoriteBold.woff), url(MyFallback.ttc#3);
}
~~~~
So we could potentially use similar syntax in selecting variations from within a variable font. Here is my CSS second code block above, rewritten using one potential syntax for variations:
~~~~
@font-face {
font-family: Gingham;
src: url("Gingham-Variable.ttf#wght=343,wdth=130");
}
@font-face {
font-family: Gingham;
src: url("Gingham-Variable.ttf#wght=844,wdth=130");
font-weight: bold;
}
~~~~
Any thoughts?
